 A 2021 book by Brian Catling, Hollow is a Surrealist LowFantasy story set during a time when reality is slowly falling apart.In Europe, there exists Das Kagel, a giant mountain rumored to be the ossified remains of the Tower of Babel. At the foot of this mountain, the Monastery of the Eastern Gate has descended into chaos, much like the inquisition has plunged the rest of society into turmoil. The monastery oracle, a divine creature, has died, and now the war between the dead and the living that the monastery keeps in check is threatening to spill out. A new oracle, escorted by a group of mercenaries led by Barry Follett, is on it's way. Every man in the team has an abhorrent past, and were chosen as the oracle can only be fed bones steeped in sins. But the road will be long, treacherous, and there is very little guarantee the men won't kill each other before their journey does.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Meanwhile, hideous creatures are appearing throughout towns, attacking people or tempting them to sin and witchcraft. It is soon realized that these creatures bear a striking resemblance to the denizens of the hellish visions of Hieronymus Bosch, and so Monastery of the Eastern Gate monks Father Benedict and his assistant Dominic must set out to discover what is birthing these beings before the situation spirals out of anyone's control and the arrival of the oracle becomes pointless.

 Affably Evil: Some of Follett’s band, like Pearlbinder, come across as downright likeable. They are still absolutely not good people.

 Abstract Eater: Oracles can only consume human bones that have been steeped in confessions, with different kinds (regretful, unrepentant, self justifying, etc.) giving the bones different flavors in a process fittingly called The Steeping.

 Army of Thieves and Whores: Follett’s band is made out of terrible human beings, himself included. Giving normal men the job would have starved the Oracle to death, as it literally feeds off confessions.
